1J Natural numbers and rational numbers

Example
Here is a list of numbers.
–
82, 4, 0.81, 16, –6.8
From the list of numbers, write down all of the:
a natural numbers
b rational numbers
a 82, 16
b 82, –4, 0.81, 16, –6.8

1 Decide if each statement is true or false.

a 68 is an integer b 68 is a natural number
c 68 is a rational number d –
68 is an integer
e –
68 is a natural number f –
68 is a rational number
g 7.2 is an integer h 7.2 is a natural number
i 7.2 is a rational number
2 Here is a list of numbers.
91, 0.54, –9, 8 , 24, –2.1, 0
9
From this list, write down all of the:
a natural numbers
b integers
c rational numbers
d whole numbers
3 Decide if each statement is true or false.
a All integers are natural numbers.
b All whole numbers are integers.
c All rational numbers are integers.
d All natural numbers are rational numbers.
4 Jayden says that natural numbers and whole numbers are the same so there is no
need to use two different names. Is Jayden correct? Explain your answer.
